Hotkey Setting Mode (HSM)

Hotkey Setting Mode (HSM) is used to set up your CS1842 / CS1844 switch
configuration. All operations begin with invoking Hotkey Setting Mode.

Invoking HSM

To invoke HSM do the following:
1. Press and hold down [Num Lock].
2. Press and release [-].
3. Release [Num Lock].
Note: There is an alternate key combination to invoke HSM. See below for
details.
When HSM is active, the Caps Lock, and Scroll Lock LEDs flash in succession
to indicate that HSM is in effect. They stop flashing and revert to normal status
when you exit HSM.
Ordinary keyboard and mouse functions are suspended – only Hotkey
compliant keystrokes and mouse clicks (described in the sections that follow),
can be input.
At the conclusion of some Hotkey operations, you automatically exit Hotkey
mode. With some operations, you must exit manually. To exit HSM manually,
press the [Esc] key, or the [Spacebar].
